Description

This is an early 19th-century detached house located on the west side of North Street in Langport. The house is constructed of red brick in a Flemish bond pattern, with a clay pantiled Mansard roof between stepped coped gables and brick end chimney stacks. It is two storeys high and has two bays. The windows are sash windows with 12 panes each, set in plain openings with rubbed brick voussoired heads. A 6-panel flush door with plated toplights is located between the bays, within a matching plain opening. A single-storey, 20th-century lean-to has been added to the north gable. The interior remains unexamined.
